Hobbies
A passion for the outdoors drew my husband and I to Colorado. We enjoy hiking, mountain biking, acoustic guitar, photography, skiing, fly fishing, rock hounding, and storm chasing. We are ALWAYS looking for new adventures. We love taking advantage of the information available via the internet and we spend time learning new skills like wood working, furniture restoration, mining, and gardening. If you can't tell, I love to learn as much as my students do, and I believe this is the reason I make a difference in the classroom.
